We provides complete firestopping services for commercial, institutional, multi-family, industrial, and healthcare projects across Calgary and Western Canada
Fire Stopping is the use of UL systems to prevent the spread of fire and smoke from one area of a building to another.
Beyond Thermal is a Calgary-based company within the Beyond Group of Companies, delivering a range of building and life-safety solutions across Western Canada. One of our core specialties is firestopping, and this page focuses on that part of what we do.
We are a UL Qualified Firestop Contractor and an active member of the Firestop Contractors International Association (FCIA). Those credentials matter, they show that our firestopping work follows audited quality processes, advanced training, and recognized industry best practices, not just “somebody putting red stuff on the wall.”
Every team member involved in firestopping is fully trained through the FCIA Firestop Education Program (FEP), then further developed through manufacturer training and hands-on work in the field and shop. Our installers and supervisors understand tested firestop systems, CAN/ULC-S115 requirements, and the real-world impact of getting firestopping wrong on an occupied building in Calgary or anywhere in Western Canada.
Beyond Thermal runs a documented Firestop Quality Management System that covers submittals, installation standards, inspection, and continuous improvement. We label all firestopping in line with project specifications, industry best practice and ASTM E3456, so every penetration and joint can be clearly identified and traced for future inspections or renovations.
As part of the Beyond Group of Companies, we bring the depth and stability of a larger organization, while our firestopping team remains focused on delivering technical expertise, clean documentation, and reliable life-safety performance on projects throughout Calgary and Western Canada.
Project stakeholders across Calgary and Western Canada rely on us for high-quality, fully documented installations.
Beyond Thermal provides complete firestopping services for commercial, institutional, multi-family, industrial, and healthcare projects across Calgary and Western Canada. Within the broader Beyond Group of Companies, our firestopping team’s job is straightforward: keep your fire separations performing to their required rating for the full life cycle of the building by treating every penetration and joint as critical life-safety work.
We begin with design and pre-construction support, reviewing drawings and specifications to identify rated assemblies and potential problem areas. We confirm required ratings, standards, specifications and any other project-specific requirements so that firestopping isn’t left to guesswork in the field.
For each condition, cables, conduit, pipe (insulated and uninsulated), ducts, structural members, head-of-wall and edge-of-slab joints, we select tested and listed firestop systems that match the actual design/field conditions. Where needed and accepted by the design team and AHJ, we coordinate manufacturer engineering judgments to address unique details that often show up on complex Western Canadian projects.
Installation of UL/ULC Firestop systems is carried out by our UL Qualified, FCIA FEP-trained crews, using manufacturer-specified materials and following exact installation instructions for backing, depth, density, and finishes. This ensures your firestop systems don’t just look compliant, they are installed as tested.
Documentation and traceability are core to our firestopping service. Beyond Thermal:
• Uses project tracking software to record locations, tested system numbers, and products installed
• Supports inspections and third-party review with organized submittals, as-built records, and photos
• Labels each firestop location in accordance with project specifications, applicable ASTM standards, and industry best practice, providing long-term firestop system identification to support maintenance over the life of the building.
We coordinate closely with GCs, mechanical, electrical, drywall and other trades to sequence work efficiently, minimize rework, and keep inspections smooth. Whether you need new construction firestopping, retrofit work, or remediation of existing deficiencies, Beyond Thermal’s firestopping team is the group project stakeholders across Calgary and Western Canada rely on for high-quality, fully documented installations.

Common Questions About Firestopping
- What is firestopping, and why do I need it?
Firestopping is the use of tested and listed systems to seal penetrations and joints in fire-resistance-rated walls and floors so fire and smoke can’t spread through openings; it’s required by building and fire codes to protect people, property, and your investment. - Do I need to maintain my building’s firestopping, what is the requirement?
Yes, under the National Fire Code of Canada (for example NFC 2023 Alberta Edition, Article 2.2.1.2), building owners must ensure fire separations and their fire protection features, including firestopping, are maintained in good repair for the life of the building, so any new penetrations, renovations, damage, or deterioration need to be assessed and properly re-firestopped to stay compliant and inspection-ready. - Why should I use Beyond Thermal for firestopping vs others?
